I'm for a cheap keyboard that looks same as this Ducky Keyboard* BUT it can be a regular keyboard.  I could be either mechanical or a regular keyboard.  The cheaper the better.  I looking for a price range under $75.  Since I'm looking for a regular keyboard I was hoping to spend as less as $20.  The key features I'm looking for is same key layout and important it has to be the same size and frame.  Thanks in advance for the help!

Do you want mechanical or rubber dome?

The Ducky you have linked is just standard ISO tenkey layout - so you are spoiled for choice really.  If you are saying that you would prefer to spend at most $20, then you would almost certainly be looking at rubber dome.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I think they mean they would like to spend at least $20 less than $75? If not, rubber dome it will be, unless a Rosewill comes up for cheap again soon.

Sometimes the CM QFR is out for an excellent price, you might want to check these keyboards out: as a general rule of thumb, blue +brown switches are better for typing and red+black switches are better for gaming), though personally I don't believe in it

The blue switch is more in your price range though
